You indicated that the bid from Proficient Telecom was deemed non-responsive with no pricing based on the specific user and information included in the FCC Form 470 #160022042. In review of the Proficient Telecom’s bid, it was determined that the proposal has met the requirement listed on the FCC Form 470. Proficient Telecom submitted the bid to the contact listed and referenced the Form 470 number as requested. The proposal also included the pricing for the voice services posted on the Form 470.
